is that correct anyone? i need to know so i know what to buy please try and help i have tryed researching lol |

You are correct about the ipac except that the controls are not analog, they are digital, you would then connect the ipac to the adapter. You also also right about the optipac as long as your talking about connecting track balls to it and not analog sticks. Some trackballs have a ps/2 and usb interface built into them, so if you get one with it built-in, you wouldn't even need the optipac. |

ok so basically i put the adapter into the ipac which has the digital (joysticks button) then i add the ipac to the optipac that has the 2 trackballs onto it? ooo so if i get a 2 trackballs that are ps/2 i can connect them without the optimac? |

Please note the trackball has 3 colored wire connections. The green, Red, yellow wires correspond to the left, middle and right mouse buttons. The PS/2 cord coming out of the trackball assembly case should be orientated to the bottom right corner of your control panel as you stand in the gameplay position in from of it. i dunno if it needs a ps/2 and a usb interface or just one of them :) --- End quote --- all you need to do is plug the ps/2 end into your ps/2 port on your pc and it functions as a regular mouse. Then use the 3 wires and wire them to the push buttons and that's that. This atleast worked for my ps/2 trackball when testing it on a win98 machine. So my understanding is that all you have to do is then run the wires for the buttons to the Ipac...no need at all for an optipac edit: I have not tried to wire up the buttons(left click right click, etc.) yet, but that is how I imagine it'll work |
